Chapter 30 Rush to the Rescue
Nearly 600 people from a battalion of escort troops were trapped near Xinyang, and at the same time, a large number of moving zombie groups were found 100 kilometers north of the base of Yangyuan Town, and the target they moved seemed to be in the direction of Yangyuan Town. Through Zhang Baoguo's explanation, Long Yu knew why Li Mingyu had expanded the entire base several times on the basis of his original plan.
The movement of a large number of zombies and the transfer of 500,000 survivors in Kaifeng are imminent, making it impossible for Li Mingyu to organize people to go to the place where the escort team is trapped to carry out rescue, after all, the distance between the two is more than 170 kilometers, and it is impossible to send a large number of soldiers to rescue when the time cannot be guaranteed, and finally Li Mingyu thought of Shen Yan.
"Okay, I'll save it!" After listening to Zhang Baoguo's introduction, Shen Yan said helplessly: "But I can't guarantee that it will come!" ”
Li Mingyu was waiting for Shen Yan's words, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Then set off immediately without further ado!" You can get the weapons and equipment you need in the arsenal! ”
Shen Yan raised his eyebrows, glared at Li Mingyu, and said, "I don't know much about the situation on the road now, and I don't know if there will be any obstacles in the meantime, anyway, I will do my best!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Mingyu to respond, turned around and walked out of the headquarters!
To be honest, Shen Yan was reluctant to return to Xinyang to rescue the trapped team. The distress signal from the trapped team was too short for him to understand the specific situation, and the danger factor was too great. But he finally decided to go to the rescue, because he learned from Zhang Baoguo that there were several biologists in the trapped team, which made his heart move.
Half an hour later, a team of 10 military trucks, 3 armored personnel carriers, 2 armored vehicles, and a fuel truck set off from the base in Yangyuan Town and rushed east to Xinyang. Because the zombie group on the east line of Yangyuan Town has just been exterminated, the convoy can be said to be unimpeded all the way, and in less than two hours, the convoy has arrived in the Xinyang area.
Through the radio, Shen Yan had already notified Luo Lie's side, and asked him to lead the convoy to take the lead and find a safe place to camp temporarily, according to his idea, regardless of whether the rescue mission was successful or not, he would bypass the Yangyuan Town base and leave directly when he returned, which would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Xinyang, known as Yiyang and Shenzhou in ancient times, also known as Shencheng, is located in the southernmost part of Henan Province, connecting Anhui in the east and Hubei in the south, which is the thoroughfare of the three provinces, and is a strategic place between the Jianghuai River and the Han River, and the central city of Hubei, Henan and Anhui regions. Xinyang City has beautiful landscapes and pleasant climate, and is known as the reputation of the north and south of the Yangtze River in the north of the Yangtze River, and before the disaster, it was a famous ecological livable city, a tourist city, and a city of entrepreneurship in China, with a population of more than one million.
The distress message sent by the escort troops was very short, just saying that they were trapped in Luoshan County, east of Xinyang, and then the signal was completely cut off! The population of Xinyang City exceeded one million, and the opposite side also showed that there were a lot of zombies in that area, Shen Yan and their convoy avoided there as much as possible, and went around the north end of Xinyang City all the way to the east!
Luoshan County has a population of hundreds of thousands, and the population within its county seat is also quite large. According to the theory of the end times, where the population is large, the number of zombies will be higher. But in fact, this is not the case here in Luoshan County, if someone can look at it from a high altitude, they will find that the zombies in the entire county are actually huddled in the southern urban area, and their number is not even less than 100,000.
Could it be that the people of Luoshan County fled before the disaster struck?
"Da! Da! Da! ”
In a high-end community in the south of Luoshan County, the rapid gunfire continued to sound here, Li Shanguo was desperately shooting with a Type 95 assault rifle, but there was no zombie in front of him shooting, and some were just a few flickering figures. At this time, several screams suddenly sounded in the north, which made Li Shanguo, who was changing the magazine, stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "The first platoon and the second platoon continue to defend, and the third platoon will follow me!" ”
The northern line of defense, where the 2nd Company is located, where the gateway to the community is located, is the most threatened. Several screams made Li Shanguo very anxious, if it was finally broken through, their entire defense line would collapse, and finally they could only shrink the defense line to the three-story villa dozens of meters behind them.
Sure enough, when Li Shanguo led a platoon of more than 30 people to rush to the northern defense line, he saw dozens of rapidly moving figures, and the northern defense line seemed to collapse. The collapse of the northern defense line indicates that Li Shanguo knew very well, and he hurriedly summoned a soldier and asked him to return to inform them that the soldiers stationed on the southern defense line should immediately move closer to the target villa! And he took the three rows of soldiers around him and began to block those figures who broke through the northern defense line, covering the soldiers of the second company who were retreating backwards.
If Shen Yan was in Li Shanguo's position at the moment, he would find that the figures in the north that broke through the defense line were the animals he had been worried about and had not appeared for a long time, and those figures were cats and dogs, cats and dogs that were significantly doubled in size.
The soldiers of the second company who retreated backwards were continuously thrown to the ground by the mutant cats and dogs that were chasing after them, screaming one after another, and the scenes of broken corpses happened in front of Li Shanguo's eyes, and the second company had more than 100 people, and there were less than fifty people who were able to reach them in the end!
"Raised by a son of a bitch, Lao Tzu fought with you!" Seeing that he couldn't escape, a soldier who was left behind suddenly turned around and roared loudly in his mouth, while holding the trigger on the assault rifle and pouring out his last madness! In just a few breaths, as the rifle in the soldier's hand was silent, a miserable scream followed, and the soldier's body was torn apart by two mutant cats in an instant!
"Evacuate, evacuate to the villa!" Li Shanguo didn't care about yelling for the soldier, and hurriedly shouted loudly to urge the soldiers around him to retreat.
"Boom!" An explosion exploded, and another soldier, who had no time to retreat, pulled a grenade and died with a mutant dog that pounced on him.
The cats and dogs that mutated because of the virus were so fast that the cost of the entire retreat was extremely heavy, and the almost eighty soldiers of the third platoon and the second company led by Li Shanguo lost another third.
On the third floor of the villa where Li Shanguo retreated, a major with two bars and one star on his shoulder was holding a telescope to observe the battle ahead, the major's face was extremely pale, and if you looked closely, you could find that his body was trembling faintly.
"Sister Yanqiu, I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat here!" Just as the major put down the binoculars, the door behind him was opened, and a crisp voice sounded. And the sister Yanqiu who was called by this voice was this major, the female major Cheng Yanqiu.
"It's on the table, you can take it and eat it yourself!" Cheng Yanqiu didn't look back at all, and once again picked up the telescope to observe the battle ahead.
"Ah, eat this again, can't you change it to something else? Eating compressed biscuits every day can affect development very much! The crispness behind him sounded after a moment, and there was a strange hint of resentment in his tone.
Cheng Yanqiu frowned and turned to look at the person behind him. It was a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. The girl is very beautiful, wearing a short skirt, which sets off her two slender legs very attractively, her shawl hair is scattered on her shoulders, and a pair of small bulges on her chest prove that she is now fully developed. At this moment, the girl was raising a pack of compressed biscuits in her hand, muttering angrily at the corners of her mouth. The gunshots outside the villa, and the miserable screams, didn't seem to have any effect on her.
Somehow, looking at the girl in front of him, Cheng Yanqiu suddenly felt a sense of disgust in his heart. Yesterday evening, she led her troops all the way to the vicinity of Luoshan County, and the investigators under her command reported that there were no zombies at the northern end of Luoshan County. According to her original intention, the convoy should continue to move forward without resting, but it was because the girl in front of her, after hearing that there were no zombies in Luoshan County, insisted on resting here for one night on the grounds that her mother was sick and that she was tired. Soft-hearted, she finally agreed to this request, but who knew that early in the morning, when the team was just about to leave, a change occurred.
"Eat if you want, go back to your house if you don't eat!" Cheng Yanqiu said in a stiff tone, and walked out of the room!
"You!" The girl was stunned by Cheng Yanqiu's words, in her memory, as long as she was wearing a military uniform, no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone, especially this beautiful female major who looked like a sister, let alone never. This is one of the reasons why, when arranging the escort commander, she insisted that the top brass of the unit let him lead the escort of the troops.
The girl who reacted wanted to question, but Cheng Yanqiu's figure had disappeared into the room, and she was about to go out to catch up with the girlish stomping her feet, but at this moment, a terrible scream sounded from the window, causing the girl to hurriedly run to the window, but when she saw it, her face turned white! I really don't know if it's because her nerves are very big, or if the sound insulation of this villa is very good, so she can only react to the situation outside.
Shen Yan's troops advanced cautiously all the way, and finally came to the northern suburbs of Luoshan County, what made him very strange was that since entering the area of Luoshan County, he had not encountered a single zombie, not even the corpse of a zombie, which made him more careful.
As the distance from the urban area of Luoshan County got closer and closer, Shen Yan's ears heard a dense gunshot, and the location of the gunfire was at the northern end of Luoshan County. Seeing this, Shen Yan immediately called the guards, pointed to a six-story building on the side of the road in front of the convoy, and said, "Guards, lead the brothers to check the building in front of them, take defensive measures, and I'll go over there to check!" ”
"Yes!" The guards saluted.
"I've told you everything, we don't have to do this when we go on a mission alone!" Shen Yan said depressedly. But just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly popped out not far away. The speed of that figure was extremely fast and fleeting, but even so, Shen Yan still determined the identity of the other party for the first time, it was actually a cat, a cat twice the size of an ordinary cat!
